The Sensory Detective® Workshop – Rethink Learning Through a Sensory Lens 

Unlock the connection between sensory experience and student performance. 

Whether you teach in early childhood, primary, high school, TAFE or university, the Sensory Detective® Workshop with Nelle Frances offers a groundbreaking professional learning experience that will reshape your understanding of Autistic students.

Through the powerful Sensory Detective® Workshop, you’ll step inside the Autistic sensory world – gaining first-hand insight into how sensory input shapes student engagement, regulation and learning capacity. 

You’ll learn to: 

• Identify sensory triggers behind student responses 

• Support regulation without relying on “behaviour” management 

• Create low-demand, sensory-aware classroom environments where everyone thrives 

• Build strong, respectful connections with Autistic students 

This full-day workshop blends neuroscience, cognition and lived experience to give you practical strategies you can apply immediately across all educational settings. 

Perfect for: 

• Early childhood educators 

• Classroom teachers (primary & secondary) 

• Learning support teams 

• TAFE, university, and VET instructors 

• Special Education professionals 

Move beyond compliance and into sensory-informed practice that empowers you and your students. This isn’t just PD – it’s a shift in how we teach and connect. 

Registration commences at 8:30am.
